I add some 63/37 lead solder to the connection prior to using solder wick then it works. 700 degrees should work. I would re solder with the good stuff. -----Original Message----- From: Ken Hohhof Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2015 3:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AFMUG] soldering temperature for repair work I pulled out an old Weller WTCPT soldering iron, the type where the tip controls the temperature, not the one with a digital readout, and was trying to change out some components on a MIkrotik board. The tip was a 700 degree 1/16" tip. I haven't done much soldering since the world went lead free, but a 700 degree tip used to be standard in the 60/40 solder world. The solder on the Mikrotik board just laughed at it. (I was using some small solder wick.) Do I need a higher temperature tip, or a bigger tip? Or both? And can I use 60/40 or 63/37 solder for the new components and clean the flux off with alcohol like we did in the old days? Will that hurt anything as long as the RoHS police don't find out?
